"reco!" ―the relationship started from touching AI

Period: February 5, 2020 to March 31, 2021

A trial experiment of viewing the permanent exhibitions together with the artificial intelligence (AI)

Let's take part in the trial experiment of viewing the permanent exhibitions together with the artificial intelligence (AI) "reco!"

This is a trial to create, together with you and other visitors, a user-friendly artificial intelligence that is available for people when needed.

Artificial intelligence (AI) has become an intricate part of our daily lives. So, let's say it is perfectly natural to have AI installed in the automatic vending machines in town; in that case, what kind of AI would be good? What about AI that has personalized conversations with people..., can it reduce loneliness and isolation? This trial aims to develop AI that is "by our side" and create new value in a future where AI is a familiar feature in life. This trial also uses AI to help create a social community where you can feel safe and have peace of mind.

We will ask all participants of this trial some simple questions about what you thought of the exhibitions, and some aspects of your personality. You can answer using the AI "reco!" that is set up in the exhibition venue. The more data we collect, the better the AI we can create - one that quietly protects us, and encourages us to notice new things. Please take part in this trial, while imagining a future in which people and AI build connections together.

How to take part

Flow of trial
